Viennese Town Hall

The building of the Viennese Town Hall was built in 1872-1883 according to the project of Friedrich Schmidt, a famous architect who worked in the neo-Gothic style. The place for the town hall was not chosen by chance: in the area of the new ring street Ringstrasse then were built important objects. The building of the town hall occupies a plot of 19,592 m2, 1,575 rooms were placed on this square. The town hall consists of 7 courtyards. Five Gothic towers rise above the main building of the town hall, the highest - 105 meters. On it stands the statue of the guardian of the town hall "Rathausman" 3.5 meters high. The main hall has an area of 71x20 m.

It hosts important cultural events, festivals, concerts, exhibitions. In winter, the square in front of the town hall turns into a public skating rink, and Christmas lighting plays on its facade.
